For anyone impacted during the outage this morning. Platform issues are never welcomed, but shoutout to the team at Topstep resolving it
Hi traders, if you were impacted during today’s outage, here’s what we’re doing to make it right: -Lost money on open trades? Erased. We’re wiping those losses from your account. -Position reversed? Some trades reversed into an opposite “ghost” position in an attempt to flatten you. These are erased completely, whether they won or lost. -Got flagged for hedging violations today? All violations are removed. -Account violated due to the Maximum Loss Limit? We are reactivating any account closed due to an incorrect rule violation, with negative trades from the outage removed. -Made a profit on open trades? You keep those gains. We aren't touching them. If your account still looks incorrect after 7pm CT today, Sept 22, contact Trader Support: topstep.com/contact-support

Serious question, IF $NQ stays stuck in the range for 2 years what’s the game plan for everyone saying this is terrible price action? In 2021/2022 CL was one the most traded products @Topstep before it fell into a range for Almost 3 yrs.

Have to have a plan for the money you make in the Market, or the Market will make plans for it. @dotjosh I might have to make a visit to the Lab
Replying to @buildingslow
@ItsJayCook I got the idea from your stream when you spoke about your mentor telling you to take the cash out. I’ve always kind of felt this way thus the idea for the account small can’t hurt the company but it’ll help the new traders. Realize that this is actually spendable cash

Solid *Not Financial* Advice here

For everyone that looks at markets everyday what do we think.. Black Monday? Or Chop until the Fed?
Monday could be a bloodbath for the stock market. Likely temporary until the messaging & vision gets cleared up about super intelligence. Most likely the White House will get involved with messaging to ease the over reaction. But Monday could get very nasty.

Friday reminder: you don’t need to “save the week” today. If you’re green, protect it. If you’re red, don’t force it back. One clean session, then we enjoy the weekend 😎 What’s your rule for trading Fridays? #FuturesTrading #TradingMindset

50k Combine passed with trades taken or discussed on the Market Tipoff on @TopstepTV! During the Globex Session Most impressive part of this to me? In the 19 days, there was a 6 day losing streak. Too many traders focus on the speed of getting to the goal, When the focus should be how we get there. We'll activate the XFA next week and keep this going #MarketTipoff #SlowMarkets
The #MarketTipoff to #SlowMarkets connection playing out well on @TopstepTV Talked about the long NQ trade setup but didn’t play out on stream. Put the trade on once the market agreed. Globex open can be a great time to set the table for the trading day. $150 to go to pass this account with trades only taken during the Globex session.
